hmmm...yeah...good point


but yeah, i saw something like this on msnbc, or one of those channels. they want a law passed that would prohibit all foreign languages on signs, such as restaurants and retail stores. the guy fighting the law said that it's fine if it passes, as long as the government uses tax dollars to provide free classes for immigrants so they can learn english.

That's English they speak in downtown Phillie? Who knew?

Was just there a few weeks ago and what a beautiful night time environment. So many great places in a 3-4 block area... surrounded by places you don't want to wander off into regardless of your native tongue.

It's really about demonstrating an attitude of sincere effort.

I've been to Italy and France where I don't speak the language. I had a pocket phrase guide and invariably when people saw I was trying to bridge the gap to THEIR way, they reached back way more than half way to help me.

But if you're wearing a Che or Aztlan or Reconquista shirt -- especially here in Left Angeles del Norte -- don't be surprised if I can't HEEEEEEEAR you.

I think the guy has a good thing going with that sign. They are in our country and our language is English. Why should the workers have to try and figure out what people are saying?

He also made some other points as well. Said they are very busy and people not speaking english held the line up and slowed things down. He said english or not if he does not understand what your saying your getting wizz and onions and just deal with it. If you find you do not like wizz or onions then learn english so you do not have to eat it.

He is dang sure getting some press over all this.

Why the heck would anybody think they could order in Spanish? That isn't Miami or LA.

Who cares.........I'm not an Eagles fan (I think Ron is an Eagles fan and he also really loves the Red Sox!!), and the Phillies............forget it. This man owns a private business, he can run it as he pleases.
